Dude, right now it's not even available for pre-orderers. What would you want the map for, if you can't play it?
Lol, for them custom games.

I don't understand. What's the benefit from Treyarch's perspective, for doing this?
Of all the things to get pissed about.
They couldn't open it to normal rotation, because anyone that didn't have the map would get booted from the party every time it came up. If they gave it to everyone, the people who pre-ordered would - though they lose absolutely nothing - complain bitterly about that.
Other than leaving the 24/7 playlist active all the time, doesn't seem like there was a good way out. Maybe that should be a lesson for them next time - don't lock away maps as a "bonus"
I can't believe people are getting into such a huff about a free map, but then again, CoD...
Why couldn't they just make it so that the map wouldn't show up if people playing didn't have the map?
hahahaha
Every CoD since MW2 has worked that way. It's not a technical issue, as this wouldn't split the userbase any more than DLC would. For whatever reason, it seems that Treyarch doesn't want the map in the regular rotation.Why couldn't they just make it so that the map wouldn't show up if people playing didn't have the map?
I swear that's what they did with the DLC maps in Black Ops.
Stupid decision. If their concern is people using it for boosting then they should leave it up with reduced or no XP. But to remove it entirely? Why? Why take away a thing that people paid for?
Stoops.
Nuketown Zombies is a totally separate thing.A friend of mine says Nuketown 24/7 is still available for the Zombies mode. Is that true?
hahahaha
Haven't enough people bought this game already to warrant the map be put into regular rotation or maintain its playlist?
Is $500 mil not enough for me not to have restrictions on the content that I purchased?
Why would they do this? Why doesn't this map work like any of their other additional maps do and will? Or are they going to suddenly yank those out of rotation as well?
wtf?? if you believe things cant get worse ...
Previous CoD's and other shooters handle DLC just like that, yes. It sounds like Treyarch may have bungled up.
You guys didn't pay extra for this map. Stop complaining.
Wait...so after hyping it up as a pre order bonus it's just gone until "special" events?
I think too many people wanted to play it or something
So, let me get this straight.
They want to sell more preorders, so they put out a popular map as an incentive. It becomes just as wildly popular as they hoped. They sell a ton of their preorders (our end of the deal), we get the map they promised (their end of the deal). Now after they get what they wanted, they pull the map?
WTF?
EDIT: and how fucking laughable is it that they called the playlist Nuketown 24/7 and it was even up for a full 7?
My Tesco order did, card inside, and pimping an obsolete feature on the back. Xbox.I didn't get it, my Tesco order makes no mention of it even though i preordered . At least my boxart isn't pimping a now obsolete feature i suppose...
MW3 had 16 maps and was $60. BO2 has 14 maps + Nuketown and is $60. I'd say we most certainly did pay for it. Just because a corporation tells you that it's "free" doesn't mean that it actually is.You guys didn't pay extra for this map. Stop complaining.

No they didnt. They would kick you out of the game and tell you that you need to buy the dlc pack.

Black Ops II without Nuketown: $60
Black Ops II with Nuketown: $60
I fail to see how you paid any more for this specific map.
